Reorient

We move closer to the birth of Jesus by taking a look at the prophecy given by John the Baptist’s father, Zechariah. He declares that Jesus will bring a new order of redemption, salvation, and mercy through humility and laying down his life as opposed to King Herod’s order of self-reliance and trying to make one’s name great. Jesus’s new order is coming, it’s here, and we’re a part of it. We live in this new order by receiving Jesus as our king and loving him with our lives. In our second week of Advent, we explore how our love for God leads us to allow God to shape us through the stories we tell, the relationships we keep, and the habits we form.
